Screw the piston puck in clockwise. There is a tool for this (KN or KY) that is a box with little dowel pins to fit the slots in the caliper piston. What you are actually doing is resetting the parking brake. As the pads wear and you set the parking brake, each actuation of the parking brake foot lever ratchets the piston outward to componsate for pad wear.

How do you collapse the rear brake piston on a 2007 Pontiac grand prix gt?

To collapse the rear brake piston on a 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix GT, first, remove the wheel and brake caliper. Use a brake caliper tool or a C-clamp to gently push the piston back into the caliper housing. Make sure to also turn the piston clockwise while applying pressure, as the rear pistons typically have a screw-type mechanism. Finally, check the brake fluid reservoir and ensure it has enough space for the fluid that will rise as the piston is retracted.
